Seems to me like they are following the path of the BMW 335. I guess if you can't beat them and they are serving you up, you copy them.

Um, what's new here? The G cars have been a blatant copy of the 3-Series since their introduction more than 10 years ago. Of course there's no originality: there never was any to begin with. On paper, each car in that segment follows the same philosophy put into place by BMW in the 70s if not earlier.

Oh, and that t might not mean turbo. Afterall, the t in G20t stood for "Touring"....

Could be touring nut I doubt it. That would mean they leaving the manner in which they are naming their cars. As of now the touring model is the Journey. Also touring would duplicate what Nissan is doing and I think they still wish to keep that seperate regardless of similarities of platform.

As for a turbo if Nissan follows suit, they should have pulled that out of the bag when they released the Z34. I know for sure they would have had one more taker.
